Strap-on for even the timid beginner
All in all, this product is great. It's inexpensive, but doesn't follow the typical "you get what you pay for" rule. I spent about $50 less than the cost of the pricier harnesses and got a great toy that both my husband and I are happy to use. It really is much more diverse than I expected, we just had to use our imaginations.Published: October 15, 2010
Pros:
It's very compact and discreet. Very non-threatening for the timid beginner.
Cons:
It'd be nice to add some clitoral stimulation for the woman wearing it.
I'd like to start out by saying that pegging for us was not as pleasurable in the traditional doggy-style position. I'll try my best to explain the best position we found for use with this product.
This was the first strap-on harness I'd ever purchased and I was very nervous to try it out. After trying a few different positions, we finally settled on my husband lying on his back with one leg on either side of my hips. I tried positioning myself on my knees, but the angle was all wrong (your flexibility and body type/size will make a huge difference in the positions you find most comfortable). I found that sitting on my butt, bracing myself on my hands behind me, and having my legs under his and up at his sides worked best and didn't tire me out. Plus, at that angle you can really see what you're doing, which is important, not just for the visual stimulation, but for the simple fact that you cannot feel what you're doing down there very well.
I swear by Jo's H2O water-based lubricant. It lasts through even toy-to-anal friction as well as a silicone-based lubricant, but washes off easily and won't damage your toys or leave a weird smell or residue. We usually only have to apply the lube once and it lasts the duration of our activity. It makes using this product that much simpler, since you really don't have to worry about the lube "drying out" and hurting your partner.
The size of the dildo itself was good for starting out. The fabric was soft and the straps were super easy to adjust. I was worried about it slipping all over the place, but you can tighten it down well so it's stable and it doesn't cut off your circulation. My husband put it on himself, and I must say the double-penetration action is great. It's a great product for the giver or the receiver.

Thank you for viewing New comers strap-on kit – harness and dildo set review page!



Thanks for the review. I haven't pegged my partner yet, but I am interested. I l appreciate your reviewing this from a beginner's standpoint, but I wish you had included a little bit more information on how the harness fit, its comfort for the wearer, etc.
Good review!
@kck: I apologize. I guess I didn't spend as much time on that as I should have because the way it fit was unremarkable. It was comfortable and didn't chafe at any point. It fit snugly and didn't move around much which gave me more time to focus on what I was doing and not worry about trying to mess around with it. It slips on easily and is pretty dummy-proof.
Thanks for the review! Welcome.
Thanks. These first two reviews were a little rough, but the constructive comments have been very helpful. I should have definitely read more "extremely useful" reviews before I did my own.
thanks for the review! i haven't taken the plunge yet but i keep eyeing strap ons trying to decide what i'm really looking for in one.
lol, i very much like the sound of "dummy proof"!
Thanks for reviewing
